Yesterday at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze lit up the north London derby with a sensational hat-trick ⚽🔥, leading the Gunners to a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Born in the city but once linked with Spurs, Eze showed what they missed by scoring three goals – a hat-trick (three goals in one match) that pushed Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the first half, and Eze added another before the break. Early in the second half, he struck again, turning the game into a one-sided spectacle. Richarlison pulled one back for Spurs with a long-range screamer, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome.
This was only the fourth hat-trick in north London derby history, joining legends like Ted Drake, Terry Dyson and Alan Sunderland. For young fans tuning in from Mumbai, Manila or Jakarta, it was a night to remember.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 15 matches across all competitions, and with Manchester City dropping points at Newcastle, the Gunners have a golden chance to end their 21-year wait for the English crown.
Next up is a big test: Bayern Munich visit on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League, followed by a trip to Chelsea in the Premier League next weekend. If you thought Eze was on fire yesterday, he could be just getting started 🌟🛡️.
